To preserve Inuvialuit cultural identity and values within a changing northern society 2. To enable Inuvialuit to be equal and meaningful participants in the northern and national economy and society 3. To protect and preserve the Arctic wildlife, environment and biological productivity Strategic Goals to achieve the Principles: 1.

Take an evidence-based decision-making approach to policy development and advocacy 6. Manage optimally the human, physical and financial resources of the Inuvialuit Corporate Group 2 In January 2019 a (42) Director Strategic Planning session was facilitated by the IRC Staff over a day of discussion. The (6) groups rotated through the (6) goals and had many common themes or message including; - We need to converse in Inuvialuktun as part of our everyday life, in the schools, in our organizations, at our events. IRC and the ICRC need to offer tools and resources for Inuvialuit to enhance their language learning. Inuvialuit should create a long-term language learning plan. - The communities need proper facilities on the Land to offer workshops and development in the traditional ways of Inuvialuit and promote wellness and healing. - Update all Land Management plans, implement updated plans and systems, enforce ILA Rules and Procedures, administer the ILAC and communicate the results. - Healing should occur on the Land with aftercare supports in the communities. - Advocate and partner on a Regional Detox facility - Help organizing and assisting the Youth in key governance development - Offer a comprehensive Oral Health program for the communities - Offer labour market and capacity training in the communities - Advocate for changes in Educational system that promote early learning in literacy and numeracy, set targets - Ensure Inuvialuit are meaningfully involved in all Research in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) with Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Western Science are equally considered in policy/decisions - Mentor Inuvialuit in all aspects of the Corporation and communities - Perform periodic review of IFA with its state of implementation - Advocate and promote community economic development opportunities - Update Board governance, policies and administration – provide support to communities. - Communicate all efforts and results 3 Goal # 1 - Revitalize and celebrate Inuvialuit cultural identity and values within a changing northern society. Dog team race during Muskrat Jamboree – E. Kolb Challenges: The decline of Inuvialuit (15 and over) who can speak Inuvialuktun has decreased from 36% (1984) to less than 22% today. Less Inuvialuit on the land harvesting country food. Inuvialuktun teachers in the schools are not entirely fluent. Success means: Inuvialuit knowing their history and cultural heritage and having a strong sense of identity and pride in their heritage. People speaking Inuvialuktun daily in their homes and in the workplace. It also means people preserving and practicing traditional knowledge and skills to survive on the land, enjoying and consuming country foods, and respecting the environment. 4 a. Language Language Promotion Sustain the Inuvialuktun language and increase its everyday use • Promote the use of Inuvialuktun in elementary and secondary school curriculum and classrooms and OTL programming • Promote the use of Inuvialuktun in all Child Development Centres • Promote the use of Inuvialuktun through the creation and distribution of Inuvialuktun teaching and learning resources. • Support the development and uptake of Inuvialuktun learning programs • Support the development, publishing and distribution of Inuvialuktun teaching and learning resources • Continue development of the text, transcribing Inuvialuit Drum Dance Songs Long Term Language Plan • Implement a long term Inuvialuktun language plan • Provide support for Inuvialuktun language teachers b. Culture Awareness of Culture, History, and Preservation Affirm the traditions and culture of Inuvialuit as an everyday part of life • Plan, manage, document and publicize significant events in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region o Assist in the development of a plan to promote the Inuvialuit Games, in collaboration with Northern Games Society o Implement or help implement the events (i.e. Inuvialuit Day, 42 Directors meeting, Oceans Day, Northern Games, etc.) • Re-introduce and revitalize our tradition, values and means of entertainment • Maximize community access to on the land and traditional activities Arts & Crafts • Expand Craft Shop and create opportunities for Inuvialuit artisans • Develop and implement a strategy for business operations of the Craft Store that enhances capacity, sales and opportunity for Inuvialuit artisans. Social & On the Land Activities • Implement Inuvialuit Cultural Plans & Programming • In collaboration with community Corporations, develop a feasible plan to hold a Regional Drum Dancing gathering. 5 • Increase programs to support the consumption of locally harvested foods c. History Showcase and celebrate Inuvialuit History COPE & ICS • Ongoing digitization of the COPE & ICS Archives Photographs • Develop and implement a digital photo archive strategy Stories & Legends • Develop a plan to document Inuvialuit Elders 6 Goal # 2 - Exercise stewardship over Inuvialuit Lands by effectively managing Inuvialuit land use rights Ivvavik National Park 2018 – T. McLeod Challenges: As private landowners, the Inuvialuit Land Administration (ILA) should develop, implement and manage an approved land use policy and procedures that is respected by community or developer. Success means: That Inuvialuit lands are effectively managed; ILA processes are clear and well- respected and Inuvialuit benefit from the access, use and protection of their lands. 7 a. Regulatory Effectively manage Inuvialuit land use rights • Improve ILA Communications (internal and external) • Develop an ILA Communication Plan • Complete the Inuvialuit Land Management System (ILMS) • Prepare for potential large-scale projects as identified Land Management • Monitoring of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway • Establish Inuvialuit Dedicated Areas • Assist IRC in completion of land exchanges Use appropriate tools to fulfill mandate effectively LUAS • Replace the Land Use Application System (LUAS) Geographic Information System (GIS) • Develop and implement an ILA GIS b.

Draft Husky Lakes Management Framework • Update and revise the Draft Husky Lakes Management Framework that describes the collective steps taken by Inuvialuit and other organizations to address the potential impacts to Husky Lakes. Forest Management Strategy • Develop an ISR Forest Management Strategy Granular Management Plan • Maintain existing ISR Granular Resources Management Plan Inuvialuit Mineral Development Strategy • Utilize the Inuvialuit Mineral Development Strategy to provide an Inuvialuit perspective on expectations regarding mineral exploration and development. Well-site Remediation • Develop a Well Site Remediation Strategy 9 Goal 3 - Health & Wellness – Improve the capacity and well-being of individuals, families and communities. Northern Games Summit - East Three Illiharvik 2019 – E. Kolb Promoting Healthier Lifestyles; Challenges: Community agencies provide a wide range of services, but in a fragmented approach. Agencies seldom work together to coordinate programs and services, to avoid duplication, to maximize available resources and to access new resources of funding and support. Community residents and some service providers find that red tape, paperwork and stringent requirements present barriers to accessing support and services. There is a need to link agencies and network with potential partners to facilitate coordination of community wellness programs, services and initiatives. Community Wellness planning needs to be more proactive rather than reactive. There is a need to acknowledge and address the root causes of barriers to community wellness, for example: the need to establish a local, long-term addiction 10 program (with aftercare). It is difficult to attract and retain the wide range of Health and Social Services professionals that are essential to the delivery of high- quality services

  • Husky Lakes Special Cultural Area Criteria -ILMS Designated Area
    Husky Lakes Special Cultural Area Criteria -ILMS Designated Area- The Husky Lakes Special Cultural Area Criteria are a set of goal-oriented, development standards designed to protect the environment in the Husky Lakes area. The criteria itself is a key component of the ILA’s Inuvialuit Land Management System (ILMS) because it contains land use standards for the private lands that surround Husky Lakes. In addition to the criteria itself, this document also describes the location and size of the Husky Lakes Special Cultural Area, as well as its importance to the Inuvialuit.

  • Does Canada's New Fisheries Act Leave
    ARCTIC VOL. 67, NO. 1 (MARCH 2014) P. iii – v Does Canada’s New Fisheries Act Leave Some Arctic Fish or Habitats Behind? Canada, internationally praised for its natural beauty and strong environmental legislation to protect its terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems, is undergoing a legislative makeover. With extraction of natural resources in Canada’s North becoming more and more economically viable, the current Government of Canada has expressly committed to responsible resource development. Recent changes to the Fisheries Act (henceforth, “the Act”), expressly aimed at unleashing Canada’s natural resources, came into effect on 25 November 2013, and focus now on commercial, recreational, and Aboriginal (CRA) fisheries (Government of Canada, 2013). The changes to the Act were contested by contributors to the careful maturation of the Act (Langer, 2012) and in court by First Nations (Ecojustice, 2013). Opposition and concerns have been expressed by scientists (de Kerckhove et al., 2013; Hutchings and Post, 2013), as the implications of these changes remain vastly untested (Walton, 2013). Fish communities in Canadian Arctic environments are particularly valuable to Arctic peoples and vulnerable to stressors such as climate change and resource development. Baseline information on Arctic oceans, lakes, and rivers and their ecology is sparse, with local indigenous ecological knowledge often representing the only long-term information available, which limits assessments of status and trends (CAFF, 2010). In addition, some Arctic fisheries (or their fishes) that were previously protected may not yet be commercially developed or even designated as CRA fisheries, and such fisheries, if not protected under the amended Act, could be lost.

    Tuktoyaktuk Community Conservation Plan - April 2008 1 TUKTOYAKTUK COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PLAN A Plan for the Conservation and Management of Natural Resources and Lands within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories Prepared by The Community of Tuktoyaktuk, The Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT) and The Joint Secretariat April 2008 Tuktoyaktuk Community Conservation Plan - April 2008 2 The Inuvialuit have and will always be conservationists. However, with the influx of people of different cultures with different values we must protect our lands and the animals that live there lest it be lost to us all. This is our responsibility to both our generation and future generations. Dennis Raddi, Tuktoyaktuk Conservation Plan Working Group Tuktoyaktuk Community Conservation Plan - April 2008 3 IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS The following important words and abbreviations have been used in the Community Conservation Plan and are explained below. Community Refers to all the Inuvialuit individuals living in the area and the local organizations which represent them. Those organizations include the Hunters and Trappers Committee, Elders Committee, Community Corporation, Community Education Council and Hamlet. Conservation Is ensuring that if we take caribou, there will be caribou the next year and the year after that. The same for anything else. This applies to all uses of the land: if it is used and enjoyed now, it must be left and preserved so that it will be there for the next year and for future years. Ecosystem Refers to all of the plants and animals in an area, including the air, water and land on which they depend.
